Decision time on seats, WO or Leather.....

The 05 DC 4x4 SR5 I just got was great on the outside, everyone thinks its a 2010. But the first owner was a smoker and had a baby carrier that did a tune on the back seat. Its a tan/taupe interior and know that over time its going to get really dirty if I don't keep up with it. The tan and black looks really good though inside.

I have been trying to decide between getting WO covers or spending the extra money and just getting leather. A local guy quoted me $1200 for a katzkin leather/vinyl combination and $1450 for a two tone graphite/tan katzkin set.

So my options are...

1.) Try to get a used back seat somewhere in Taupe that matches
2.) WO covers
3.) The leather/vinyl covers
4.) all leather

$1500 seems like a ton of money, but I really hate the sr5 seat fabric. Suggestions....

 

imo, get the WOs. It'll keep the stockers clean and help resale value, and you can always sell the WO when the time comes.
BUT, you need to do what will make you feel as though you made a good decision each time you get in the truck.

 

all true im sure. but, before ya decide, take a look here. VERY sanno job!

 

OP,

I vote for option #4 and add the heated option....... You won't regret it.

 

WO's are great, I just installed them in my DC Sport, however, leather is SAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEET. You got the bucks, I say leather up.

 

Color-matched tan, with perforated center panels. I looked at the two-tone but i liked the more subtle look better.

 

You suck man !! I've watched WO and leather threads come and go without seeing anything that really caught my interest. THEN you go and post these pics, which I do like since I have the taupe interior too.

Looks very nice, subtle, understated, just looks good.

DAMN YOU TO MOD HELL !!!

 

Now that's what I'm talkin about !!! SAAAWEEEEEEET

 

What kind of leather seats and what color leather?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of Taupe/beige people out there. I need to find some pics of a taupe two ton seats now.

 

They are Katskinz, and I believe the color is called "ivory". I told the installers to just match the color of the tan plastic, and they picked the color, so I'm not 100% sure.

 

Thanks guys.

 

Get leather. Its a good selling feature down the road. I put my black katzkins in my SR5 myself on a saturday afternoon. $675 shipped.

 

I definitely agree that the leather would be awesome, but IMHO, leather can be a real PITA to take care of and keep looking good.

 

GO WITH LEATHER !!!

 

I just got the WO from the group buy, and I have to say the fit is pretty sad compared to the fit of the one's I bought a year ago for my wife's Subaru. Mass production does not suit them apparently. Katzskins would have been a better investment.

 

Leather. I have WOs. They're good. But for halfway to the price of custom leather, you're better off going leather.

Are you sure you got the right ones? My WOs fit like they're painted on and almost everyone who rides in my truck asks me where I had my custom upholstery done.

If they don't fit well, you either got the wrong set (i.e. sr5 covers on sport seats or vice-versa) or you installed them incorrectly.

 

Why not get a set of clazzio leather seat covers for the cost of WO's?
